There are NO alternatives. The Primer, Mac Revealed and others It's not a bug, it's a feature. :-) On the one hand, you can't have 2 official sources, right? So IM is and will always be necessary. On the other hand, the secondary (non-Apple, remember) sources are for introduction--once you've gotten past that, you can pretty much handle IM (at least I guess that's the idea. Me, I never read anything but IM [and the UMPG :-]). In any case, who're you griping at? -- /============================================================================\ | Francis Stracke | My opinions are my own.
